The sessions

Two sessions, every week.

ASession A

Strength Maintenance

Heavy hinge paired with a lateral bound, lateral single-leg work, and the pulling volume that keeps you winning net-front battles in the third period. Elite dose: one more working set on every lift, jump and interval than the standard block, and longer holds. Bar speed still governs — nothing goes to failure.

  3. 03Press & Pull
  4. 04Groin & Carry
BSession B

Lateral Power & Hip Maintenance

Everything that keeps a gap tight: lateral output while fresh, loaded rotation for the point shot, and the frontal-plane hip work that stops a groin from ending your February. Elite dose: one more working set on every lift, jump and interval than the standard block, and longer holds. Bar speed still governs — nothing goes to failure.

Week by week

Four weeks, start to finish.

Each week runs sessions A to B. Open any one of them on its own.

  1. Week01

    Load is moderate on purpose — in-season lifting exists to keep what you built, not to make you sore for Friday.

  2. Week02

    One notch heavier. If the schedule has left the legs heavy, drop a set before you drop the weight.

  3. Week03

    The heaviest week of the loop, and still nothing goes to failure. Bar speed is the governor all month.

  4. Week04

    Back off, then start the block again at week 1. This loop repeats for as long as the season does.

Ready when you are

Start week one on the days you train.

Every session lands on your schedule, and any of them can be moved later.
